Affidavit of Support: Consular Filing DS-260

[Mrs. Dea 10]

Good Day

 

I am the beneficiary and I live outside of the US and currently awaiting my case to arrive at consulate. I am perusing Form DS-260 and notice it is asking for Affidavit of Support . I will be designated as the agent. 

 

1. Am I to have my husband (the petitioner) fill out Form I-864EZ sign and send to me to attach to the Form DS-260?

 What other forms or documents should I have him send me in the meantime.

 

 

2. According to this https://www.uscis.gov/i-864p , my husband's W-2 shows, 30K and it says here for 2 people it would require 21,137. I have seen on here where person's met the requirement but was still asked for co sponsor. Would it be too cautious to take the co sponsor route .

 

3. Also, as the beneficiary, can I use my brother as a co-sponsor or does he have to be related to the petitioner.  

 

4. "The sponsor must complete Form I-864 and each household member must complete Form I-864A"  Does this mean that, If I can use my relative, would my husband fill out I-864 and my brother fill out I-864A as well as his wife and daughter (my niece)?

 

Thank you in advance

You need to understand that most documents are submitted to NVC first ( including the i864) before your file even begins to go to the consulate .  It could take 2 to 3 months to get document complete at NVC
